Mandalism
'''ORIGINS ''' 	Mandalism as a polytheistic religion first appeared in the 2004 as a cult in Slovenia. Its main principles contained the worship of modern gods, such as Iyoro, the God of the Science or Melora, the Goddess of the Biology. The fundamentals and principles are similar to those of any other polytheistic religions; followers believe that the modern world is controlled through the modern technology and that that technology is controlled by the modern gods. Up to date, it is not familiar who started the cult, but the followers often call themselves Mandalists.

BASIC PRINCIPLES

Due to the modern age, there are a few basic fundamentals which differ from other polytheistic religions. Mandalists believe that their gods are in a shape of a human, being able to give rebirth to themselves whenever they feel its required. For instance, one of the teaching is that Gallileo is a same man as Einstein. In their teachings, they often refer to their gods as their “brothers”, “sisters”, “fathers” and “mothers”. The ideology of their teachings is that every man has a chance to become a God given that his/her birth is co-ordinated with the birth of a God. Their prayers and dogmas take a place in front of a various types of shrines (computer/notebook/microscope etc.) and they do it by the free will.

FIVE SACRED RULES

Five Sacred Rules, or as they refer to them as “Father’s Vows” are mostly taken from the Satanic Bible but with a fundamental change in their aspects.

1.     For whom you serve but your gods – and musn’t they say there are no your gods; pain befall them if so.

The principle that mainly all religions posses is that the follower must always defend his belief and the gods he serve.

2.	 The free will of free men; what must be done, must be done.

This rule is the most controversial one; in its roots, it allows followers to do whatever they think is required, whether that’s a murder, steal or something else of the same magnitude.

3.	 Be your children’s grace by impairing the faith within them

Followers are required to, if they ever have one, teach their child/children and force them to follow Mandalism.

4.	 In the service of technology you are, and in control of the technology you are. 5.	 Must you neglect your gods, may your tongue be severed and your bones crushed.
